Craig Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Frank your wife was right. I cheated and used pine and it still cost a fortune. When I posted to trailer sailer one of my friends blabbed and told everyone it was my first cut at the Vac. He told that I missed the 1/4" = 1'. Hell, I thought they were full size patterns. Anyway thanks for the info on this. It is a fun project and I am nearly complete. I couldn't wait to see how it looked. The thickness plainer I bought to do this ain't half bad either 8) :wink: Quote
Frank Hagan Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Looks great, Craig! Its a pretty good design, but it is a bit challenging to build if you don't have the tools. My solid boards on the bottom did suffer a single crack, but it didn't affect the structure at all. My daughter is expecting another ... I'm thinking this time I'll build a toy box ... nice and square. Quote
Guest Oyster Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 NIce job, Craig! But with one exception. I bet the waterline, from my eye anyway, will be a bit higher than marked. Quote
